Soft stop, did it go away?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced their soft stop going away? Mine used to a be a little hiccup and I don't experience it anymore. Granted I stick to my 1 cup allotment, but was curious if others lost theirs.

Mine temporarily went away and soon thereafter I realized I needed another fill. I got a little fill recently and now my soft stop is back.

That's not to say you need a fill, but it's just my personal experience when my band no longer had adequate Fluid my soft stop was gone.

Thanks both, I was actually due for a fill last weekend, but a snow storm came through and I cancelled my appointment (not driving 45 minutes in a storm), so end of the month I have one so I may get it back :).

What is a soft stop???

It's when you body has some sort of reaction to tell you to stop eating. You may think you can still keep going if your only half way done with the amount your doc told you to eat, but it is best if you don't. For example, when mine was still around, at one point, if I did a small hiccup, I knew I better stop eating or I won't feel too good when I'm done. I have heard of noses starting to run, a burp, a sigh (I thought that was a weird one, but I actually had this happen at Red Lobster once), hiccup, and that's about all of the ones I can think of, but there might be more. Not everyone experiences this either, but quite a few do.

I had no idea that is what those hiccups were called. I figured it meant time to stop.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
